Semua Bab The Charismatic Charlie Wade: Bab 6621 - Bab 6630

Jimmy was only left with seething hatred toward Nate.So, hearing that Nate would pick him up at the airport, he quickly replied, "Sure—I have things to discuss with you too, chief. I'll send you my flight details later.""Of course, of course," Nate replied eagerly. "Send it to me whenever. I'll see you soon!"After Jimmy hung up and returned Julien's phone, Nate was left pacing around in his room, muttering to himself, "Shit. This is bad… Jimmy's definitely not going to let this rest…."Surprised, his wife asked, "What's going on here? Didn't you just fire Jimmy? Why are you letting him on board and picking him up at the airport on top of that?""Oh, don't even start," Nate sighed grumpily. "Julien Rothschild, the heir apparent of the Rothschild family, just called me personally to say that he had a mere misunderstanding with Jimmy… Honestly, what the hell is with that?! "I thought I was doing them a favor, sending the dirt I had on Jimmy to the feds so that he'd go to prison.

"Alright!" Nate grinned. "My car's right outside. Let's go!"They left the airport and got in Nate's Bentley, and Nate drove him straight to the Ares LLC Manhattan office.Along the way, Nate sighed remorsefully. "Look, Jimmy—I really regret what I did yesterday. We've been working alongside each other for years, and I truly approve of you. If the Rothschild's butler hadn't pressured me, I wouldn't even think of abandoning you. I hope you understand."Jimmy didn't answer and instead asked, "You said over the phone that you keep dirt on every partner. What dirt, specifically?"Nate rubbed his nose in slight embarrassment. "More or less the same stuff as you did. We keep an eye out for easy, high-profile jobs, and then get a proxy who would convince the client to get the partner to work the case in private. It would spare the client some fees, and they'd be keen since it's easy. "Most partners wouldn't be able to turn down such an offer. So, when they work on the case, I ask those

Pausing, Nate then added, "A lawyer always needs five to ten years to accumulate experience. If they do well, we will promote them and increase their salary or induct them as a partner if they're outstanding."You know how things work for partners in law firms—shares and increments. A partner is always paid better and allocated shares that will be redeemable in five to ten years, and they will eventually reach executive levels. All in all, the system is aimed at keeping partners in the firm to bring us further value."Jimmy held out a hand, stopping him. "That's common knowledge. What I mainly want to know is how you set them up and what dirt you have on them.""Oh, well…" Nate paused awkwardly, but he eventually sighed and said, "Once a partner has been promoted, we need two-fold insurance. After all, if they are highly skilled, they would eventually grow their own clientele and develop an appetite, which in turn means they would be demanding more shares or demanding a seat on the

Nate still wasn't aware that Jimmy had other plans.While he was really reluctant to part with the 200 thousand shares, he had no choice but to restrain himself as he remembered that Jimmy now had the Rothschilds' backing."Very well, 200 grand shares, it is!" He exclaimed. "I dare say the 120 million dollar split per year is quite reliable since that commission will increase along with our firm's growth. You have a really bright future ahead if you stay in our firm, Jimmy!"Even though Nate's decision didn't come lightly, Jimmy was left frowning slightly.After doing some simple math, he came up with the conclusion that right now, he needed cash and not shares.Shares were a gamble, as one would be betting on whether the company would improve in the future or not.If the company did grow like clockwork, shares worth a million this year would be worth tens of millions in the next.If the company were on the decline, the shares might be worth less than a hundred thousand by the n

Hence, Jimmy and Nate were both very much pleased as they signed the ten-year contract.Jimmy was happy because even though he would be working for Charlie over the next ten years in Oskia, Nate was still paying his annual salary of 14 million USD. Even if he got just 30 percent, that was still a good four million that could sustain his family's normal expenses.On the other hand, Nate was pleased because he had no idea what the contract actually meant, only that he had managed to overcome the hurdle that was Julien Rothschild. It would be even better if he could get closer to the Rothschilds over the next ten years!Hence, the two excitedly signed their contracts and passed them to the other.After that, Jimmy stood up and said, "I came as soon as I landed, so my family will be waiting. I'll leave now that the contract is signed. See you tomorrow at the usual hour."He was not about to tell Nate the truth, that he would have a notary approve all the documents to protect his own r
